UAE & Mali Militarism is Failing
They learned it from watching us! Mali and the UAE, in very different ways, have committed heavily to US-style militarism over the past decade or so. It hasn’t worked out any better for them than it has for us. In fact, it’s kind of catastrophic.

Why Tax Cuts Lead To Tax Revolts
Everybody hates taxes. But they are really important. The fact that folks in the US are reacting to government by insanely corrupt tax cutters by advocating to cuts to their own taxes is a real problem.

Is Saudi Arabia Or The UAE More Doomed?
You’d think that war against a common enemy would bring Saudi Arabia and the UAE closer together, but in fact it’s the opposite. They are having a falling out that’s putting them both in danger. Today’s video asks, who’s more doomed?

US Oligarchy’s Iran War Victory
China is the biggest winner from the Iran war. But the US Deep State is a close second. You didn’t think I’d make it through a whole Iran war without making an MIC video did you?

Hitler Is Worse Than Stalin, Tucker Carlson
Tucker Carlson is taking an interesting turn. I’ve rejoiced at his turn against pro-war fundamentalism, but it’s always come packaged with a more sinister edge. In recent weeks, that edge has become really apparent, with his new closeness to open white supremacists. With today’s video, I dive into just one thing Tucker gets very wrong, World War II history, and explain how that may contribute to some of other right-wing mistakes…

Is Trump Starting A Civil War?
This Donald Trump thing has been going on for quite some time now, hasn’t it? Back in 2017 I did a survey of past times of turmoil in US history. My conclusion was that folks in Trump’s first administration were blowing things out of proportion. Do I still feel the same way today? Not so much. We’ve been in worse places on some metrics, but our situation today can no longer be explained away. Check out today’s video for my detailed analysis.

The Taiwan Chip Story Was Always Nonsense
We don’t hear much about Taiwan semiconductors anymore. This often happens in national security circles. The point is to make you scared, not to make any meaningful changes to the strategic vulnerability that is claimed to have been identified. Solving this problem would be counter-productive. It’s declining importance means I’ll probably never do a produced video talking about Taiwan chips, so I thought it made sense to throw together an unproduced version. I hope you find it useful.

Trump Is Brining Turkey’s Politics To The US…
The return of produced videos! This video on the parallels between Trumpian and Turkish government is a bit of an experiment. It’s got a bit of half-formed ranting, but it’s also got some carefully put together and animated critique of media consolidation. I think it works. Do you? I’ve been enjoying stumbling towards new formats for my video production, and I think this is a sort of a step forward. There’s so much enough happening that I need to find new ways to speed up production while maintaining quality. Let me know what you think.

Is Trump Bringing Us Back To the 1930s?
This one was interesting. I had an idea for a couple historical comparison videos in light of Trump’s second term and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. My typical practice is to then spend months or weeks developing them before publishing a finished product. But I have too many of those projects already. So I figured I should just push this one and next week’s videos out in unproduced form without too much introspection or overthinking. It’s not as produced as I might like, but the ideas are out there. What do you think?
